Initial data
At approximately 23: 00 on February 28, 2010, I witnessed several bright orange lights moving from the northwest, tracking in a south-easterly direction.
I just got home and, getting out of the car, I looked up at the sky and saw a big orange light. I watched for about 20 seconds as it slowly moved from the northwest to the southeast direction.
The sky above us is on a busy flight path, so I'm used to seeing the flashing lights of airplanes in the sky. What made this observation unusual and attracted my attention was the orange color and the fact that it did not blink. The night is a question, it was a very clear night with a full moon high in the sky and in the south.
I thought I would take binoculars and look at the object from the back of the house. The back of the house faces the south side. I was waiting at the back of the house, waiting to see the object.
After 10-15 seconds, the orange glowing object was not visible, so I went to the side of the house to see where it could be.
To my surprise, I saw only three objects of the same color, two of which were slightly less intense in luminescence. At that moment, I ran back to the house to get binoculars and called my partner and two children. We ran back through the house to the front door.
From the facade of the house facing north, two objects changed their path, rose into the sky and lost their glow. The third object continued its way to the southeast.
I followed the remaining object with binoculars for 5-10 seconds, and then went to the back of the house, where I was able to track the object again in a south-easterly direction. The glow of the object went out as it continued to move to the southeast. I didn't see anything unusual in this, since it was heading in the direction of the Moon's location, and not directly to the moon!
However, I was able to continue tracking the object as it moved in a south-easterly direction, while losing the glow. I could not clearly distinguish the shape of the object. What was also so unusual was the absence of sound from the object (s). Usually, when the plane flies overhead, the engine noise is heard very clearly. However, this time there was no sound.

Summary: At approximately 11:00 pm on 28/02/2010 I witnessed a number of bright orange lights moving from the North West tracking a South Easterly direction. I had just arrived home and as I got out from my car I looked up to the sky to see a large orange light. I watched for about 20 seconds as it slowly tracked from North West in a South Easterly direction. The sky’s above us are on a busy flight path so I was used to seeing the flashing lights of aircraft in the sky. What made this sighting unusual and what captured my attention was the orange colour and the fact that it was not flashing. The night is question was a very clear night with a full moon high in the sky and to the south. I thought I would get some binoculars and watch the object from the rear of my house. The rear of the house is south facing. I waited outside the rear of the house expecting to see the object. After 10 – 15 seconds, there was no sight of the orange glowing object so I went to the side of the house to see where it might have been. To my amazement I saw in total three objects of the same colour, two which were slightly less intense in luminescence. At this point I ran back into the house to get my binoculars and called my partner and two children. We ran back through the house to the front door. From the front of the house, which is north facing, two of the objects changed to a different path, rising in the sky and losing their luminescence. The third object continued on a south easterly track. I followed the remaining object through binoculars for 5-10 seconds and then went through to the back of the house where again I was able to track the object on a south easterly direction. The luminescence of the object faded as it continued south easterly direction. I did not see this as unusual as it was heading in the direction of the location of the moon, not directly at the moon!. However, I was able to continue to track the object as it moved into a south easterly direction while losing it’s luminescence. I could not distinctly make out the shape of the object. What was additionally so unusual was there was no sound from the object(s). Normally as aircraft pass over head their engine noise can be heard very distinctly. However on this occasion there was no sound what so ever.
